    move castiron tub 1/4"

    opened wall I decided I could fret longer than it would take me to open and close the living room wall. There are no obvious attachments and the space under it is hollow. It does not rest on the little "feet" at the back, but only on the front lower edge and the top edge that sits on a...

    one vented fixture in whole house?

    I've just bought a very modest, two-bedroom ranch built in '58. There was no shower in the only bathroom, just a cast iron tub in good shape. The room is now gutted and a carpenter will hang cement board and other wall board when the wiring and plumbing are done. An electrician did the...
